"All Is Well" is out now on Bedroom Community. It was produced/engineered by Valgeir Sigurdsson, w/musical wonders by Nico Muhly and contributions from Eyvind Kang, Stefan Amidon, Aaron Siegel, Eyvind Kang.
"An album of fragile, spooky loveiness."
-Entertainment Weekly

"In an era of overheated Nick Drake comparisons, Amidon is eerily close to the real thing."
David Fricke, Rolling Stone

"Amidon doesn't just update the old world to the new, but finds the roots of the new world in the old."
-Pitchfork

"Young Sam has a talent for reinterpreting traditional folk standards, and in the hands of the ever-empathetic Valgeir Sigurdsson and his bedroom community, he's produced a work bordering on the timeless."
-David Sylvian

"Nothing less than a goose-bump-manufacturing sonic piéce de résistance."
-CMJ New Music Monthly

"Amidon makes mistakes, lots of them..."
Grapevine (Reykjavik)

"Letting your retarded friend open a show for you is either a benevolent act of charity, or a shrewd ploy to lower audience expectations; either way, after Sam Amidon’s support set that consisted of tuneless, banjo-accompanied sea shanties, each interrupted by nonsensical monologues and culminating with a break-dancing finale, any performance Jolie Holland had churned out would have been greeted with warm enthusiasm by the audience at Ruby Lounge, Manchester."
-David Harfield

“Sky-scrapingly great ... All Is Well is viscerally stunning, comforting, upsetting, entrancing."
-Stylus

from vermont originally, samamidon found some ancient sounds and some other sounds. samamidon sings some of the songs and leaves some of the other songs alone. samamidon is samuel tear and thomas b (aka doveman, plays with david byrne, yoko ono, miho hatori). "but this chicken proved falsehearted" is available on plug research in the US and birdwar in europe.

Picadilly Records

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

Sam Sam Sam, I just got really bummed out when I looked at your myspace-page because I'll be in Brussels THE DAY you play there, but I have to leave in the afternoon. Then I saw you're playing in Eindhoven, but I have other obligations that night (not unpleasant, I'm going to see Grizzly Bear).

So yeah, Amsterdam?
By the way, I've had your cd in my radio since I bought it from you at Motel Mozaïque. And that's not just because I don't own that many cd's.

Hope you're doing great.
All the best,
Laura
